Ingredients
- 1 stick SALTED butter barely softened I use Hiland Dairy Butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 “heaping” tsp (or approximately 3/4 tsbaking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt add 1/4 tsp extra salt if using unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chunks or chips
- 1/3 cup English Toffee Bits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Lightly grease a large, non-stick, cookie sheet (I use a dark, airbake cookie).
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and sugar with a hand held mixer until combined well.
- Add the egg and pure vanilla extract, beat until creamy and fluffy.
- Next, add the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix on low speed until just combined. The dough should be stiff.
- Stir in chocolate chips and toffee.
- Drop by rounded 1/8 cup portions onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Bake 8-10 minutes until the edges are lightly browned, the top is just starting to brown, and the center is still gooey and appears slightly raw.
- Take the cookie sheet out of the oven and allow the cookies to cool directly on the baking sheet to finish baking for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Notes: These cookies are best served the day they are baked but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I highly recommend reheating them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds before serving.
